Ken Burns: This is the first National Park Week to follow the airing of the filmmaker's six-part series honoring the parks (it debuted in September). Bet a lot of people who saw the series will be out enjoying the week. Hope a lot of people will be out enjoying the week.

A park near you: The heart races a little faster when it lands on nps.gov. Traffic sounds cease. Stress stops. Nature. Here's one area we like: the find-a-park page. Just enter your location and go. The National Park Week page says there are 392 parks around the country. To visit just one over the next week seems like a snap.
